Problem

Remedy

no dish 

No connection to the antenna unit

- Check cable connection to antenna unit (power and 
antenna cable)
- Check antenna unit’s power supply

ErrorCom 

Communication error with antenna 
unit

Turn unit off and on again

Low Vsup

Power supply for antenna too low

- Check power supply connection for antenna unit (loose 
cables/connectors or wrong cable type)

Err HR

Read error of horizontal unit

Err HW

Write error of horizontal unit

Err VR

Read error of vertical unit

Err VW

Write error of vertical unit

Err SR

Read error of signal processing unit

Err SW

Write error of signal processing unit

Err PR

Read error of polarisation unit

Err PW

Write error of polarisation unit

Err VCO

Error during satellite inspection

Err EEP

Error during storage

Err IIC

Error in internal communication

Err Trck

Error in tracking module

Err ULS

Error in upper limit switch

Err LLS

Error in lower limit switch

Err ELS

Error in eastern limit switch

Err WLS

Error in western limit switch

Turn the unit off and on again. In case the error reoccurs, 
call for technical assistance.

In case of errors regarding limit switches:
Check all moving parts for nonblocking functionality

Err Comp

Compass error

Compass will automatically reset and recallibrate. After 
that, please do a preset. In case the error reoccurs several 
times, call for technical assistance.

Err Save

Error while saving satellite

Repeat search and storing procedure. Make sure the boat 
is not moving and no superstructures obstruct the sight to 
the satellite

complete

The search for a stored satellite was 
successful, but no picture is shown

- Delete satellite storage positions and memorize again

Wait GPS

Antenne is waiting for valid GPS 
data.

- GPS signal is jammed by another signal source

- GPS receiver is defective

Sat X 

interchanging with 

no Sig

No reception of the stored satellite

- Check if superstructures (e.g. steeple cab or masts of 
proximate boats) obstruct the sight to the satellite − if so, 
move the boat

- Reception can be briefly interrupted by passing boats

scanning 

interchanging with 

complete

No receptable satellite in the entire 
search range

- Check, if any superstructures are obstructing the sight to 
the satellite

- Check, by using footprint cards (e.g. www.satcodx.com), 
that the boat is inside the coverage area (footprint)

>Short!<

There is a short in the connection 
between  and antenna

Check cable connection to antenna and rotary joint inside 
of antenna
